Naseem Hamed, Marco Anthonio Barrera Rematch

[MARKBNLV]

When your exposed as a fraud once why do it again

[Silencers]

He got an awful lot of stick for that fight alright,
more then he deserved in my opinon!
He def wasnt the same but dont think he deserved to get booed!
Calvo had one hell of a chin,
he got hit with shots that put the likes of Augie Sanchez in Hospital but he stood strong and went the 12 rounds

Those fans paid for entertainment, that fight was perhaps one of if not the most boring fight Hamed was involved in, he didn't let his hands go much at all. I don't like booing fighters but I understand why the fans did what they did.

[screwhead1]

ok sorry...maybe i got the drunk thing wrong...but i was going off of memory from the article i read back then...but i didn't know he retired right after the calvo fight...

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

He's a ******. I very much doubt he drinks. He got sent down for wreckless driving. Who said he was drunk? Are you just making things up?

I know plenty of ******s that drink, have sex with multiple women and smoke as well....

Agreed , he just didnt have it anymore . Too many distractions for him. He really didnt have any love for boxing anymore and it was apparent in his training before barrera or lack of it to be exact.There were stories of trouble in his camp with his trainer about his refusal to spar and lack of dedication in training. I remember he was filming a documentary during camp for the barrera fight Little Prince Big Fight or something like that and i was taken slightly aback by it . They also showed some clips of barrera and he was in great shape . I give full credit to barrera for the win but i certainly think hamed would have given a much better showing (or might have won imo) of himself had he properly trained for this fight.

I don't know why people still tlak aout Princess Nazeem after all these years. When he fought Barrera he was a t his peak of his career. Many picked him to upset Barrera and even knock him out.

What Barrera did is something he would have done 100 times over if they fough that many times. Barrera showed what a superior boxer with intelligence can do to a fighter that has nothing but speed and power.

That's why it's the sweet science, because it isn't about whos the fastest or stronger puncher it's about who's the better boxer.

Nazeem was all flash and no substance. He relied on his power so much that when he was presented for the first time against a world class guy like Barrera he was embarassed. Because that's what it was an embarassment...

Naz is the most overrated fighter and the biggest "would have been" that people still talk about.

Indeed what a fraud he was beating former world champions and dominating a division holding 3 out of 4 (should have been 4 ****ing wba would have been a first btw)


.. GTFO fool

[screwhead1]

regardless if he was hyped (which i know he wasn't)...he still did what all boxing greats and critics claim boxers need to do...create an entertaining fight and give the crowd and millions at home their money's worth...he was the king of that ****...

[fightingfigs]

I know naz got back in the ring after the loss to barerra and fought Manuel Calvo,
I also know that he had a rematch clause in the contract with Barerra and was intitled to one,
anyone know why exactly he didnt?
And what is excuse was??

because ala told him to retire.

Seriously even though the fightw as interesting I feel Nas really only liked to demean lesser skilled opponents rather than face the most dangerous.

he looked pretty bad against barrera and didnt want to consider a fight with any of the head honchos. his time was done

Naseem was favourite going into the Barerra fight,
Barerras win was an upset.

Your obviously just dont like naz or your a barerra nuthugger,
anybody who seen a prime naz in action knows that he would of battered barerra,
he had no interest in the sport at that stage.
I thought a loss like that would off woken him up and got him back training hard but obviously not.

You're missing the point. The guy accused Nas of drink driving without substantiating his claim.

[Joe2608]

His Calvo fight was his comeback fight but he put in a fairly boring performance, despite getting a shut out decision. I think after he realised he couldn't entertain the people anymore he decided to pack it in.

If he was was focused, didn't have the distractions, stayed with his original trainer and didn't change to Steward then he probably could have beaten Barrera. But the lifestyle clearly got to him and Steward was a bad trainer choice.
